An electrophoretic polymorphism that mimics a true genetic polymorphism in Triturus cristatus carnifex (Amiphibia,
Abstract:
Phosphoglucomutase electrophoretic patterns have been studied in 60 tail homogenates of Triturus cristatus carnifex. Our results show that the same sample produces a different electrophoretic pattern with homogenate ageing; a new band of intermediate mobility appears, together with the one produced by the fresh preparation. The phenomenon can mimic a true genetic polymorphism when differently stored samples are analyzed.
